Compare and Order Decimals: Greater Than Problems

Which number is greater?

Let's first convert the decimal numbers into simple fractions and compare them:

0.2 is divided by 10 because there is only one digit after the decimal point, therefore:

$0.2=\frac{2}{10}$

0.25 is divided by 100 because there are two digits after the decimal point, therefore:

$0.25=\frac{25}{100}$

Let's now compare the numbers in the denominators:

$\frac{25}{100}>\frac{2}{10}$

Therefore, the greater number is 0.25.
